Other than service animals, Sopwell House does not allow pets. This is unfortunate for those who like to travel with their favoutrite canine companions.

The service can be slow in the restaurant.
The service can be slow in bit the restaurant and bar, especially at breakfast when things can get a bit crowded and hectic. Rest assured however, that once you are seated and served, you’ll really enjoy the food.
negative:
The hotel is mod-facelift.
Although some of the guest rooms have recently been updated, many have not, and these rooms are showing their wear. Dated furnishings, worn carpet and a terrible mouldy smell in some rooms will leave you asking to be moved to a refurbished room. To save yourself this trouble, be sure to request a newly done room when you check in.
